This chair had the
potential to be the most beautiful chair in all the land, but there was one
problem. For years the chair had been locked away high in an ivory tower
waiting on a knight in shining armor to come save it from its lonely isolation.
It had been there so long its once beautiful paint had cracked and chipped, and
the most luxurious fabric that had adorned its frame was long rotted away. Dust
and dirt now covered the chair making it hardly recognizable from its glorious
days as the fairest chair in the land.
One day a brave,
noble, and handsome knight stumbled upon the ivory tower. His name was Sir
Andrew Downs and he was on a quest. He was in search of a chair. Not just any
chair, but a chair suitable for the Windows of the World Ball. This ball was
the event of a lifetime where only the who's who of the kingdom was invited.
Sir Andrew had been searching for days far and wide and nothing he found
was chic enough to be presented at the ball. He was growing rather tired
from his search so he paused inside the ivory tower for a brief reprieve from
the hot sun. Once inside, an unexplainable force drew him toward the staircase.
He began to climb the long spiral staircase and with each step he took he knew
there was something important to be seen at the top.
Meanwhile, at the top of
the Ivory tower, the chair still sat waiting for its rescuer. When something
magical happened! Out of nowhere a man appeared! This was not the brave, noble,
and handsome knight, but it was its fairy godfather sent to the chair on the
day of its rescue. For if the knight had reached the top and seen the chair's
wretched condition it would remain in the tower forever. With one wave of
his magical tape measurer the chair was restored to the glorious days as the
fairest chair in the kingdom. But there was one condition… If the chair did not
find its perfect match at the ball it would spend the rest of its chair-life
locked back away in the ivory tower.
Sir Andrew reached the
last step and opened the door. To his amazement was the most beautiful chair he
had ever seen! He quickly snatched the chair, fastened it to his noble steed
and rode off to present it at the ball.
The Windows of the World Ball was beautiful and full of the most elegant people and decor. When it was time for the chair to be presented a hush laid over the ballroom, for the chair was breathtaking. Everyone loved the chair, but was it too elegant for the likes of anyone there? Of course not! It was Mrs. Sally Jobe whose eyes met the chair and she knew that it was a perfect match.
